Présentation de l'éditeur
From the author's Preface:
THE diagrams in this work are not found in any ancient or modern works, with the exception of the common circle and simple forms used for illustrating.
The famous problem of Squaring the Circle is solved in Geometry.
In the mathematical part, in place of unending decimals there is shown the absolute fraction now discovered that was searched for by the ancient Greeks, and the ancient problem is solved in Mathematics.
Both parts taken together constitute the Double Discovery.
In the explanations, algebraic signs are not used, but plain terms; and coincidently the solution of this, the most widely known of the intricate problems, was effected during the four hundredth circling quadrangular year, 1892.
The rounded year 1000 being also a year of an ancient historical event in the eastern part of the western half of the world, it is alluded to in connection with the cut of a lofty tower at the end of the diagrams.
Attention is called to the appendix.
